More positivity for fat darkskinned black women. Like I’m tired of them not being seen as beautiful or as smart as lighterskinned black women. Colorism goes a long way, and I’ve started to see in combine with fatphobia toward darker skinned fat women. So here’s to positivity for beautiful, smart and important fat darkskinned black women.

a message to youyou aren’t a burden,
a cast-away scrap
of garbageyou’re not as heavy
a spiritual load
as they make of youyou’re someone to someone,
their pride and joy,
their lighthouse from the seayou’re the star
somebody wishes on,
the song of a bird in a treeyou can’t possibly tell me
you don’t belongwhy else would i
have written you
a poem that doesn’t begin
to encompass your impact
on the world around you?

Naomi Watanabe is huge in Japan. She’s got almost 6 million followers on Instagram, she’s a regular on television shows and magazine covers, she has her own fashion line, and a Japanese railway company even created a “Naomi train” last year.

“My ideal body is that of a sumo wrestler — big but muscular,” Watanabe laughed during an interview.

I want to see more sex scenes with fat girls. I don’t want it to be the butt of the joke either. I want to see more positive sex scenes with fat girls. I want to know that sex isn’t only for beautiful people with beautiful bodies.
